Film Synopsis

In 1971, Clifford Irving is set to become the most famous man in the world.  He has succeeded where so many have failed, to gain a private interview with the multi-millionaire recluse Howard Hughes.  Irving has written up his revealing  interview in a book which publishers are scrambling to obtain the rights to.  The book will make Irving wealthy beyond his wildest dreams and the mystique surrounding Hughes will finally be dispelled.  There is just one slight problem.  Irving has never met the eccentric businessman.  His book is a work of complete fiction...
